Harvey Updyke requests to decrease restitution payments

In court documents filed this week Harvey Updyke
requested his monthly payment to be reduced from $500 to $50.

Updyke's attorney argued paying $500 a month
would cause him substantial hardship. Court documents list his monthly gross
income as just over three thousand and his month expenses around 27-hundred.

In his ruling last month the judge wrote
that updyke could afford the $500 a month. If it is reduced to $50 a month, it would
take updyke more than 13- hundred years to payoff the nearly $800 thousand he
was ordered to pay auburn for poisoning the Toomer's oaks.

Updyke plead guilty
to poisoning the trees and served three months in jail.

The judge has given state prosecutors until
January 10th to respond to the motion.
